Using This Manual
This manual covers management operations directly related to the monitoring
and control of the chassis (including the conÞguration of client modules with
respect to the chassis). It also describes management functions that are shared by
most client modules, such as alarm and event monitoring.
This manual does not describe management operations that are inherent to
individual client modules. These operations are covered in separate management
module guides; refer to these guides for more information on managing an
individual module.
